"Bushwhacked" - Firefly

Okay, this is embarrassing. I watched “Bushwhacked/Episode 3” at 1 a.m. in the dark and was hiding behind my pillow during certain parts. It really isn’t that bad but I’m just a big baby.

The most interesting and main part of the third episode were the Reavers. They are pretty much these human beings who aren’t really civilized. So they rape humans, eat their flesh, and sew the skin onto their clothes. In this episode, I didn’t get to see any. I imagine that they are pretty brutal though seeing how normal humans forced to watch what they do makes the normal human act like a Reaver to cope. The tortured people start harming themselves AND other people. That’s definitely whacky.

Also, does River have some sort of bad connection with Reavers? She started freaking out when the crew boarded the abandoned ship. She was hearing screams so she also ventured into the abandon ship and helped the crew find people that were killed by Reavers. After the crew found a survivor that the Reavers seemed to have diseased on the ship, she could sense him acting weird and reacted nervously (even when the survivor was nowhere near her.) It was a good thing she could though or else her and Simon could have been harmed or even killed in that episode. She has some neat powers.

Lastly, I’m glad the crew was able to come up with a plan to hide Simon and River from the Alliance. The captain is quick to react when problems jump out at them. I’m glad they are back on the ship ready for more adventures. I really enjoy Firefily.
